“The Ice Age Cometh?
What ever happened to global warming? Scientists have issued apocalyptic warnings for years, claiming that gases from cars, power plants and factories are creating a greenhouse effect that will boost the temperature dangerously over the next 75 years or so. But if last week is any indication of winters to come, it might be more to the point to start worrying about the next Ice Age instead. ”

Yesterday, I was talking to my brother and he mentioned that they have found human footprints, which they have dated to 23,000 years ago, at the edge of White Sands. I said, I thought the migrations had been about 12,000 years ago. Yes, but now they have to rethink that. So I said that some people think that Europeans came over from the East before the Eurasians came over the Bering Land Bridge. So we talked about how that could happen with Stone Age people, whose only boat was something of a skin covered bathtub. Well, if there were bits of exposed land (in an Ice Age), and if each generation moved west on ice, living like Eskimos, each going only a few miles, it is conceivable that after 40-50 generations they are here. Maybe it’s the same with the coming Ice Age. A slight oscillation downward over a 1000 years. I actually only posted this to mention the footprints. I thought some might find them to be interesting.
